so rich and moving, i almost want to start the whole book over again immediately. i did not feel this way until at least 200 pages in, but was gripped by the depth of characterization. truly stellar and heart wrenching

I read 210 pages, which is more than half of the novel itself (not the added journal), so I'm calling this read. I really liked the format, with the different changes, but not very much happens. I've read plenty of slice-of-life books, ones that don't have a plot so to speak but talk about people, and some of them have impacted me deeply; this isn't one of them. Glad I gave it a shot, but it's time to move on.
